Cllr Nicholas Coombes is planning to use his devolved funding to buy a handrail for the Darlington Place steps.

The path, which continues from the National Trust fields to the canal, is tricky for the elderly on its decent to Sydney Buildings. During the icy winter it was impassible for everyone.

Lib Dem councillor Nicholas Coombes is working to procure a suitable handrail, recognising that a standard galvanised steel rail would not fit this part of Bath.
